Five short weeks turned into a lifetime of gained perspective. As one of nine U.S. students selected to participate in a National Science Foundation research grant, I had the opportunity to live, work and travel throughout the small East African country of Rwanda. A rapidly developing nation, Rwanda has experienced a dramatic increase in contraceptive use in the past 10 years. Using a qualitative approach, my colleagues and I examined what factors led to this increase, how other sub-Saharan nations could experience the same success, and how this rise can continue. From this research to the people I met and the experiences I gained along the way, this presentation will serve to share some of the encounters that have changed my life and widened my understanding of the world. My hope is to share with you a vast nation of progress, beauty and unimaginable strength.
